Default My journey after the MS6

So I haven't made it on here much after selling the MS6. I see not too much more has developed - I've been lurking but very little posting.

Around October 2009 I sold my MS6. I was fully bolted and parted nearly everything out - was making around 300awhp (never dyno'd with the mani) and 335awtq. Sold it to a good friend for some cash and his '06 CBR600RR. Thought a bike would be my cure for speed, but our MN weather really only allows a few months of good driving. So I ended up deciding to sell it and try to capture my realistic dream of owning a C5 Z06. I listed the bike for sale and just a couple weeks was all it took to sell, and at the same time I found a C5Z that was local and had everything I wanted. The logistics of everything worked out perfectly. I sold the bike on Saturday, picked up the C5Z on Monday (today). I'm still looking for a complaint or regret...

On with pics!
The MS6:






The CBR600RR:


The 2002 C5Z06 - 28k miles:

I know the Z06 is butt-rapingly fast, but that interior reminds me of a 99 Ponitac Grand Am, or Grand Prix.

Other than that, nice car man.

C5 Z06's have LS6's in them. Heads flow fantastic, but a lid, exhaust, and cam can get me to 430-440whp. Add an intake mani and ported head and I'd be around 470-480whp.

That's a big reason I couldn't pass it up! Very long-term project for me, that I can still drive as much as I want.

I know...it's definitely not worthy of a $50k MSRP back in '02. But...they had to keep costs down somehow (think EVO), and I'm certainly not looking around the cabin much. There's a few things I'm planning on doing to dress it up a bit.

Which do you prefer? I think your MS6 was friggin sexy, but there is nothing like RWD mated to a hefty V-8! Congrats on the purchase!

The MS6 was a solid all-around car, but it wasn't the 'be-all, end-all' car for me. I enjoy having two vehicles, and the Z06 obviously takes the cake. It's a race car from the factory - has the looks, power, handling, and cost/benefit that no other car can touch for the price.

I also added new wheels yesterday to spice things up - CCW SP500s (18x10 275/30, 19x11.5 305/30):
